be_v meet_v the_o whole_a charge_n of_o entertain_v you_o here_o have_v be_v the_o province_n and_o task_n of_o some_o other_o of_o my_o brethren_n that_o have_v be_v every_o way_n more_o able_a to_o have_v discharge_v it_o than_o myself_o it_o may_v i_o hope_v be_v a_o pardonable_a excuse_n if_o i_o allege_v for_o myself_o that_o my_o meditation_n have_v be_v much_o very_o much_o discompose_v by_o my_o sorrow_n that_o my_o eye_n have_v sometime_o vied_z drop_n with_o my_o pen_n while_o i_o be_v about_o this_o sad_a task_n and_o probable_o have_v i_o love_v and_o honour_v he_o less_o i_o may_v have_v perform_v this_o service_n better_o but_o it_o be_v fit_a i_o leave_v apology_n and_o come_v to_o my_o remain_a task_n that_o be_v to_o make_v some_o honourable_a mention_n of_o our_o israel_n now_o he_o be_v dead_a who_o we_o deserve_o honour_v while_o he_o be_v alive_a i_o shall_v not_o stick_v long_o upon_o the_o parallel_n yet_o shall_v i_o first_o observe_v that_o our_o israel_n like_v he_o in_o the_o text_n be_v by_o god_n make_v happy_a in_o the_o number_n of_o so_o many_o survive_a child_n as_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n though_o not_o all_o of_o the_o same_o sex_n and_o have_v the_o addition_n of_o one_o grandchild_n more_o than_o joseph_n present_v to_o depart_a israel_n to_o receive_v his_o benediction_n of_o all_o which_o our_o israel_n make_v frequent_a and_o affectionate_a mention_n and_o to_o which_o together_o with_o his_o own_o he_o bequeath_v his_o blessing_n as_o old_a jacob_n do_v to_o the_o son_n of_o his_o son_n joseph_n 2._o the_o name_n israel_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o be_v superad_v to_o the_o former_a name_n of_o jacob_n as_o some_o think_v or_o rather_o give_v in_o its_o stead_n because_o he_o be_v rectus_n dei_fw-la a_o up_o right_a man_n jacob_n signify_v a_o supplant_a some_o conjecture_n he_o be_v so_o call_v because_o he_o get_v his_o brother_n esau_n birthright_n by_o a_o wile_n but_o the_o word_n signify_v proper_o plantam_fw-la tenens_fw-la and_o the_o child_n be_v in_o likelihood_n call_v jacob_n because_o about_o the_o time_n of_o his_o birth_n he_o hold_v his_o twin_n brother_n by_o the_o heel_n our_o honour_a lord_n can_v not_o be_v call_v jacob_n at_o all_o for_o who_o birthright_n have_v he_o take_v we_o may_v say_v with_o st._n paul_n he_o have_v wrong_v no_o man_n defraud_v no_o man_n but_o he_o may_v be_v call_v israel_n for_o he_o be_v rectus_fw-la dei_fw-la have_v a_o upright_a plain_a deal_n soul_n like_o nathaniel_n a_o true_a israelite_n in_o who_o be_v no_o guile_n 3._o israel_n be_v vir_fw-la videns_fw-la deum_fw-la a_o man_n that_o see_v god_n and_o so_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o this_o honourable_a person_n do_v too_o though_o not_o as_o jacob_n face_n to_o face_n yet_o by_o some_o such_o mean_n by_o which_o god_n be_v please_v to_o make_v discovery_n of_o himself_o to_o man_n in_o these_o latter_a time_n lyra_n upon_o genesis_n think_v it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n that_o old_a israel_n foretell_v his_o death_n before_o it_o come_v and_o say_v i_o die_v but_o whether_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n or_o no_o i_o do_v not_o question_v sure_o i_o be_o there_o be_v no_o great_a need_n of_o any_o extraordinary_a revelation_n to_o let_v a_o man_n of_o a_o 147._o year_n of_o age_n as_o israel_n be_v know_v that_o the_o time_n draw_v nigh_o that_o he_o shall_v die_v but_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v something_o more_o than_o ordinary_a in_o it_o though_o be_v a_o man_n of_o singular_a reservedness_n he_o do_v not_o discover_v it_o that_o this_o honourable_a person_n when_o he_o be_v but_o about_o 52._o year_n of_o age_n and_o under_o no_o visible_a distemper_n of_o body_n or_o mind_n shall_v above_o three_o month_n ago_o even_o then_o when_o he_o accompany_v his_o dear_a and_o honourable_a mother_n to_o her_o long_a home_n in_o his_o passage_n from_o the_o house_n to_o the_o church_n say_v with_o some_o kind_n of_o confidence_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o next_o that_o shall_v go_v that_o way_n and_o before_o he_o be_v seize_v with_o any_o sickness_n let_v fall_v some_o expression_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o dear_a relation_n who_o he_o yet_o be_v most_o unwilling_a to_o grieve_v signify_v his_o expectation_n that_o ere_o long_o they_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o mourn_v for_o he_o and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o confident_a that_o he_o have_v some_o foresight_n of_o his_o approach_a end_n from_o one_o expression_n utter_v to_o myself_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o visitation_n which_o be_v upon_o this_o occasion_n we_o that_o be_v about_o he_o and_o observe_v how_o little_a he_o be_v afraid_a or_o speak_v of_o what_o we_o so_o much_o suspect_v doubt_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o disease_n have_v make_v he_o insensible_a of_o his_o danger_n &_o that_o though_o death_n make_v irresistible_a though_o slow_a assault_v he_o do_v not_o apprehend_v it_o hereupon_o i_o do_v as_o i_o conceive_v i_o be_v oblige_v make_v my_o private_a application_n to_o he_o and_o deal_v plain_o with_o he_o discover_v to_o he_o our_o just_a fear_n and_o his_o own_o great_a danger_n and_o admonish_v he_o to_o prepare_v himself_o thorough_o for_o death_n which_o we_o doubt_v he_o can_v not_o avoid_v and_o i_o be_v satisfy_v that_o he_o foresee_v his_o danger_n and_o therefore_o have_v prepare_v for_o it_o when_o i_o hear_v he_o say_v and_o that_o with_o a_o serene_a countenance_n and_o a_o very_a grave_a utterance_n parson_n i_o be_v sensible_a of_o this_o before_o any_o of_o you_o be_v and_o we_o be_v afterward_o satisfy_v why_o he_o be_v so_o long_o desirous_a to_o conceal_v his_o danger_n for_o when_o he_o see_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o endeavour_v to_o hide_v what_o his_o dear_a relation_n have_v discover_v and_o therefore_o think_v fit_a to_o yield_v and_o in_o effect_n to_o say_v with_o old_a israel_n behold_v i_o die_v and_o see_v his_o dear_a comfort_n and_o the_o rest_n about_o he_o thereupon_o to_o give_v vent_n unto_o their_o passion_n and_o let_v it_o out_o in_o a_o flood_n of_o tear_n he_o present_o add_v these_o word_n ay_o this_o be_v it_o i_o be_v afraid_a of_o thereby_o declare_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o seem_v to_o take_v so_o little_a notice_n of_o his_o danger_n be_v not_o because_o he_o be_v insensible_a of_o it_o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o relation_n understand_v it_o nor_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o 4._o israel_n be_v so_o call_v as_o most_o do_v probable_o think_v because_o he_o be_v princeps_fw-la cum_fw-la deo_fw-la and_o prevail_v with_o god_n when_o he_o wrestle_v with_o he_o for_o a_o blessing_n gen._n 32._o 28._o it_o be_v our_o israel_n custom_n to_o wrestle_v with_o god_n as_o jacob_n do_v devotion_n be_v one_o part_n of_o his_o daily_a exercise_n and_o it_o happen_v to_o he_o as_o to_o israel_n gen._n 32._o for_o come_v from_o his_o morning_n exercise_n he_o be_v seize_v as_o israel_n with_o a_o lameness_n in_o his_o thigh_n and_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o as_o he_o do_v with_o israel_n go_v away_o with_o a_o bodily_a foil_n he_o receive_v a_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o though_o he_o come_v or_o rather_o be_v carry_v off_o with_o a_o maim_n in_o the_o body_n he_o be_v princeps_fw-la cum_fw-la deo_fw-la and_o prevail_v for_o a_o blessing_n on_o his_o soul_n and_o i_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a nor_o can_v i_o let_v pass_v this_o observation_n without_o commend_v it_o to_o the_o careful_a notice_n and_o consideration_n of_o all_o that_o hear_v i_o that_o the_o great_a stroke_n by_o which_o god_n call_v he_o to_o himself_o befall_v he_o present_o upon_o his_o rise_n from_o his_o private_a devotion_n as_o if_o god_n have_v say_v to_o he_o thy_o prayer_n be_v come_v up_o and_o i_o come_v down_o to_o fetch_v thou_o up_o likewise_o thy_o work_n be_v do_v and_o now_o i_o will_v do_v i_o and_o give_v thou_o a_o reward_n sure_o happy_a be_v that_o devout_a soul_n who_o his_o lord_n when_o he_o come_v shall_v find_v so_o do_v stand_v upon_o his_o watch_n and_o call_v upon_o his_o god_n oh_o consider_v it_o how_o much_o more_o comfortable_a it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v find_v so_o do_v than_o to_o be_v snatch_v away_o with_o his_o dalilah_n in_o his_o arm_n or_o with_o a_o intemperate_a cup_n in_o his_o hand_n or_o a_o damn-me_n in_o his_o mouth_n or_o any_o idol_n in_o his_o heart_n which_o may_v make_v he_o incapable_a of_o communion_n with_o his_o god_n but_o i_o leave_v the_o parallel_n and_o offer_v he_o 2._o to_o your_o consideration_n as_o a_o person_n of_o honour_n different_a indeed_o from_o most_o other_o man_n of_o
